Our modern Spectro brand analyzers determine all of the elements used in the metal industry, including trace analysis of carbon, phosphorous, sulfur and nitrogen. During the analysis, the atoms in a sample are excited by energy that comes from a spark formed between sample and electrode.

The energy of the spark causes the electrons in the sample to emit light which is converted into a spectral pattern. By measuring the intensity of the peaks in this spectrum, quantitative metal analysis of the material composition with uncompromising accuracy.
